Auto-derived project labels were title-cased, turning .ssh into .Ssh and
opencode-claude into Opencode Claude. Show the folder name verbatim in the
sidebar, window title, settings selector and notification templates, and
migrate persisted legacy labels back to the folder name (manual renames
are preserved).
Session lists now promote a conversation when it starts working and again when it settles, instead of reacting to every streaming timestamp update. This keeps ordering responsive without bringing back the sidebar churn removed by the recent performance work.
Apply the same user-visible order across Recent, project and worktree groups, session switchers, mobile navigation, widgets, the command palette, and the desktop tray. Preserve pinned priority, freeze timestamp fallback ordering, and keep child-session activity scoped to siblings under the same parent so it never moves the root conversation.
Seed reconnect snapshots without synthetic jumps, clear ephemeral ranks on deletion and runtime changes, and cover lifecycle transitions, mixed root/child trees, metadata-only updates, and project-group ordering with regression tests.
Improve OpenChamber responsiveness under large session workloads while fixing
cache, synchronization, and persistence correctness across runtimes, projects,
directories, and worktrees.
- prioritize selected and visible sessions during bootstrap and defer
non-critical enrichment work
- reduce redundant message loading, event processing, store publication, and
hidden sidebar work
- prevent stale session and message requests from overwriting newer
authoritative state
- preserve existing data when authoritative fetches fail instead of treating
failures as successful empty responses
- scope session materialization, messages, drafts, queues, todos, pins,
permissions, folders, tabs, Git state, and pull request data by runtime and
directory identity
- harden runtime switching, reconnect, cleanup, mutation reconciliation, and
persisted-state ordering
- preserve live subagent Task linkage when metadata arrives after an older
message request or while streaming parts are suspended
- coalesce overlapping tail refreshes without losing newer refresh demand
- improve cold-session loading by moving deferrable work out of the critical
bootstrap path
- isolate URL authentication, mobile credentials, native secrets, and other
runtime-owned state across endpoint changes
- bound long-lived caches and remove avoidable allocations from event and
rendering hot paths
- limit virtualization to archive collections where it improves rendering
without disrupting active sidebar layout
- stabilize session folders, pin ordering, expanded state, and persisted
sidebar behavior
- open skill files through the same secure editor and outside-workspace grant
flow used by file navigation, including worktree sessions
- expand regression coverage for stale completions, runtime collisions,
reconnect behavior, persistence races, authoritative empty results, and
subagent refresh ordering
- document the updated synchronization, cache ownership, performance, and
runtime-isolation invariants
Replace repeated project-by-session directory matching across sidebar hooks with a shared ownership index that resolves each unique directory once and exposes direct project and folder-scope buckets.
Gate destructive folder reconciliation on authoritative session data and topology readiness, preserve last-known worktrees after discovery failures, and retain nested-project, VS Code, active/archive dedupe, and Windows drive-root semantics.
Narrow cross-directory subscriptions to session and status slices so streaming deltas no longer trigger global aggregation. Reuse a cached session ID index for permission lineage checks instead of rebuilding it on every session switch.
On the reported 15-project, 67-worktree, 14,561-session shape, ownership indexing averages 3.81 ms versus roughly 450 ms for the cache-only hotfix.
Validation: 28 targeted tests, UI type-check, UI lint, and dead-code analysis.
* fix(ui,server): normalize Windows drive letter casing for consistent path resolution
Provider settings were failing to persist for specific projects on Windows
because path normalization was inconsistent across the codebase. Some
normalizePath functions uppercased the Windows drive letter (c:\ -> C:\)
and others did not, causing:
- directoryScoped cache misses (different keys for the same directory)
- broken model selection in the affected project
- lost conversation history (sessions could not match their project)
- false cache hits in resolveConfigDirectory on undefined inputs
This change extracts a single shared normalizePath utility and uses it
from the 5 client sites that were missing the drive letter normalization.
The server-side normalizePathForPersistence is updated to uppercase the
drive letter both before and after safeRealpathSync, so the persisted
path is consistent even when realpath returns a symlink/junction with
a lowercase drive letter on some Windows environments.
Fixes#2109
* test(ui,server): add coverage for Windows path normalization
Address review feedback on #2154:
- Add Windows-platform test for normalizePathForPersistence covering
drive letter uppercase on input and after realpath resolution
- Add dedicated test suite for the shared normalizePath utility
- Defensive fix: normalizePath now returns null for paths that consist
only of slashes (\\, ///), matching the documented contract
Refs #2154
* fix(server): scope drive casing normalization to Windows

- Cut broad render fanout across the app by replacing shared-store whole-object subscriptions with leaf selectors, memoizing hot chrome boundaries, and isolating disabled global providers from live session/message state. This keeps header controls, composer toolbars, side panels, and other non-hot UI surfaces from repainting on every assistant update or keystroke.
- Rework sidebar session ordering so recent, project groups, and worktree groups derive from one ordering source while avoiding streaming-time thrash. The sidebar now uses a stabilized session snapshot, preserves structural identity for unchanged rows, reads live row status/details per session, and applies a one-shot sort bump on idle->busy instead of continuously resorting during activity.
- Fix chat/input scroll instability by separating viewport-resize handling from message-growth handling, disabling conflicting native scroll anchoring, and stopping textarea autosize from collapsing on every growth keystroke. This removes the multiline typing jiggle during streaming and reduces unnecessary composer rerenders.
- Also gate voice context wiring behind voice-mode enablement and codify the learned render/scroll/order anti-patterns in AGENTS.md so future changes avoid the same classes of regressions.
